Crop or Not | Custom 2×3 + Montana’s big sky warrants a little bigger, wider than 2×3 scale. The haystack is big. The mountains are big. And, of course, the sky and clouds are big. To see the entire story with all seven images, go to Crop or Not | a 7 Image Story.

Crop or Not | Landscape 9×16 This B-25 Taxiing is cropped in HD 9×16 scale. HD scale accentuates the dominance of the long curved wings.

Crop or Not | 35mm 2×3 This F-16 Taxiing is cropped in standard 2×3 scale. I could get no closer due to the airfield fences. The 80-400mm lens gave me some flexibility.
